Good.
It shows the difference between c and python.
c takes 10 times as long to program as python but is 10 times quicker to run.
If you can't find an equivalent python library in c, make that 100 times longer to write.

For example this is the file name that gets auto generated: CBS+-+Living+Biblically%3A+Show+Hospitality+%5BCOLOR+grey%5D2018-04-16+21%3A30%3A00+-+2018-04-16+22%3A00%3A00%5B%2FCOLOR%5D

Thanks for the hard work

I can do anything I like with it. You can too. It's all open source and relatively easy python code.

What do you want it to look like?

The reason it is like that is because Windows has a hard time with non-ascii characters and special file characters have to be encoded (< > : " / \ | ? *).
The file name is url encoded with pluses for spaces.
Luckily Kodi can translate url encoded filenames without any addon intervention.
To make it unique the channel name, title, start and stop times have to be included.
The colors make it easy to read in the addon or Kodi's Recordings folder.

There is an easily readable json file with more meta info in the Recordings folder.
If you want to rename it just load that data into python and use that.

If you come up with a workable alternative that meets all the criteria above I'll add it in for you.

First,.. One question, i downloadet the ffmpeg zip File for Android from your Link in the Start post, can i install it in kodi like any other zip File or have i to unzip it first, and if so in wich folder i have to install it ?

sorry for that noob question

Hi.
You need to extract the ffmpeg program from the zip file and put it somewhere where you can browse to it in
Settings \ Jobs and Rules \ ffmpeg exe
So if you downloaded the zip in Android to the Downloads folder just extract it there and point "ffmpeg exe" to that extracted ffmpeg file.

The first time IPTV Recorder tries to record on Android it will try to copy ffmpeg to the kodi system data storage path so that it can be run from Kodi.
/data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/ffmpeg
Android has restrictions on where you can run programs from for security reasons.

The TVDB scaper needs a name like this: The Game S05E09 ( <title lang="en">The Game</title> <episode-num system="common">S05E09</episode-num> )
Maybe something like a TVDB naming option in settings. TVDB also needs a folder to be made in order to scrape.
So if a Folder can be made for the recording based of the title and then the recording is named according to TVDB standards it would help Kodi keep organized

Hmm this can become complicated, maybe there could a question when you schedule a recording asking if this is a TV show or a Movie
